<p>
In contrast to OpenType shaping, Graphite shaping does not
specify a predefined set of shaping models or a set of supported
scripts.
</p>
<p>
Instead, each Graphite font contains a complete set of rules that
implement the required shaping model for the intended
script. These rules include finite-state machines to match
sequences of codepoints to the shaping operations to perform.
</p>
<p>
Graphite shaping can perform the same shaping operations used in
OpenType shaping, as well as other functions that have not been
defined for OpenType shaping.
